| Core Tip |
Practitioners who participate in caring for patients with cirrhosis are challenged when using antibiotics rationally. On one side, bacterial infections are frequent, severe, and not always straightforward to diagnose; on the other, scant granular data is publicly available about the causal microorganisms and their susceptibility patterns. According to experts, empiric antibiotic treatments should cover 80% of the common pathogens in stable patients and 90% in critically ill patients with suspected infections. Therefore, it is necessary to know the microorganisms expected to be involved in the most frequent bacterial infections and their susceptibility patterns to develop evidence-based guidelines. This opens a window of opportunity for research because bacterial infections and multidrug resistance are global health issues expected to grow over the following decades. |
